Thanksgiving Thoughts

Hi all,

Been a while since I have had a chance to write. I just got back to Minnesota from Thanksgiving back home. To clear up any confusion that might have happened with a previous posting--I was not CAMPAIGNING in Northern Wisconsin, I was CAMPING!!!!!! (Samantha, that is just for you :))

My Thanksgiving was nice, but everyone in my sister's family was under the weather (including one of the dogs). I really hope that I do not come down with anything but we will see how things go. Otherwise Friday was shopping and I was very close to being done by noon. I then spent Friday night visiting some friends in McHenry, Illinois who had a brand new baby on Monday. She was so tiny and adorable. Great way to spend the evening: hanging out with friends and holding a newborn :)

Saturday during the day was helping out with sick little boys, a sick sister, and running a bunch of errands. Saturday night was spent with friends (even though I did arrive about 2 hours late), but it was a nice night. I did miss seeing some friends, but hopefully I will get to see them over Christmas.

Today I left Beth's about 10:30 am and ran into snow and sleet throughout the ride. There was also a lot of traffic. We were stop and go from Portage to the Dells and then again from Baldwin to outside of Hudson. I was exhausted by the time I got home. I got the car unloaded (Beth and Rick were happy to unload two Christmas trees on me so I will be doing some decorating this week) and then answered emails. I also managed to do some Christmas shopping online and I only have one person left to buy for--Woo Hoo. I am so excited!!!!!!

Have a great week,
Paula

Dental Work

Well I know I haven't written in a while, but there really has not been much to write. I had some dental work today and have to go back in early December for them to finish. Not my favorite thing in the world to do :), but life goes on.

Work is still really busy so I am working extra hours and that just makes me a little more tired than normal. We are going to reach 500,000 records in our database tomorrow and that will be very exciting for all of us cataloging geeks (yup, we are geeks!)

Otherwise life is pretty normal around here. I wish this blog could be full of interesting and exciting news, but I don't live that kind of life :)

Have a great day,
Paula
